The original Batman, Adam West has gone on to the Batcave in the sky. Died at the age of 88. RIP and thanks for such a classic character!
Would have posted a photo but did not want to fight Captcha :(

Right on, Jim, no doubt a precious childhood memory for many of us `of a certain age', I have such fond memories of watching it with my Mum when I was a kid! Maybe this picture will do, a friend sent it to me, sorry not sure who to credit it to, though.
Don't you go spraying no Heaven Repellent Batspray on your next journey, mr West!

^ Damn Michael, that is awesome! Loved all those classic villains, especially the Julie Newmar version of Catwoman...wink, wink, nod, nod, say no more, say no more.
Just about a month ago, saw the campy Batman movie on Netflix, what a hoot. The Bat shark repellent spray...:)

Jim, there's an amusing recent full-length animated movie out on Bluray and DVD that features the voices on Adam West, Burt `Robin' Ward and Julie Newmar reprising their classic roles from the old show called `Return of the Caped Crusaders', in the same colourful style as the Sixties show too! It's pretty fun, and I seem to be reading that Adam had completed his dialogue of a follow-up as well, which means it will likely be his swan-song.
